An entire wall of my bedroom is leaking. It's like a horror movie where the walls drip blood, except with water. Oddly this does not reduce the horror as much as you might think. Everything is porous and it's coming from everywhere and I can't put down a basin to catch it because it's not actually dropping, it's just sliding down the wall and soaking into the floor and rendering everything gross. Also it doesn't have any apparent source (although it's obviously from the A/C but it's still creepy).

check the A/C overflow tray. it's there to catch the condensation dripping from the A/C and sometimes doesn't drain or evaporate as quickly as it needs to. after you get the water to stop, give the wall a few days to dry out and then sponge it down with diluted bleach to kill any mold. if it starts happening regularly contact a repairman. you may need a larger drip tray.

i may have had a similar problem a few years back.

Oh god. I had water leaking (and then just kind of spurting...) through my ceiling/wall two winters ago -- the radiator on the floor above had been leaking under the floorspace for years or something. D: It was the creepiest. There was one leak from the ceiling that I could basin, and that was just nonstop drip-drip-drip (slowly increasing in speed!) and after I moved all my shit out to the kitchen in a panic, it echoed.

... It only took a day to fix it though! On the plus side. Once my landlord woke up.

It has now been fixed, but the bottom of the wall is all soft and so gross :( :( :( but at least there's no more dripping sound.
